Top Bunk Wanker posted:It's incredibly, insanely obvious that he's using Washington, D.C. to refer to the political establishment, and doesn't mean the city of Washington D.C. Are you all sincerely that retarded? It's hard to say. The source of the quote is this Hannity interview, at shortly after the 4:00 mark. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2015/10/15/jeb-is-no-romney-and-thats-his-problem/ My impression, just from hearing this kind of rhetoric, is that Bush used the word "recession" as an attention-grabbing way of highlighting a promise to shift resources away from DC. Republicans have this thing against the actual city itself, not just metonymically. When Scott Walker goes on Hannity, a common complaint is that DC is too rich. He points out how the median household incomes of the surrounding counties are the highest in the nation. My guess is that Bush feels a similar way and wants to shrink government to stop this.

He reaches down and flips the tortoise over on its back, the tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over, but it can't, not without Trump's help. I wish a whole paragraph could be the thread title.

Trump is turning out to be exactly what would happen if goons had a SuperPAC and ran a GOP candidate whose sole mission was to troll the poo poo out of the other candidates. When is the last time a leading candidate did this much trolling? Is there any kind of precedent?

I didn't see Trumpamania running this wild at all. no one saw it coming because everyone assumed trump would just wimp out of his run at the last minute like he is wont to do. of course then his show got canceled and all hell got turned loose. we werent ready for the trumpening.

The ways in which they want to shrink government has nothing to do with the wealth in the area. Defense companies, lobbyists, mega-law firms, medical companies, and the various consulting/tech firms that these other companies rely on aren't going to hurt too badly if the republicans start cutting the budget. This doesn't even take into account the simple fact that being the capital city, and home to every embassy, and international organization, brings a lot of highly paid individuals to the area. Shrinking government will just squeeze out a lot of the low-middle income earners, and turn the entire metro area into an extension of McLean-Bethesda-Georgetown (which I'd personally love).

Not that I knew how completely he was gonna embarrass himself and the republicans or that trump was gonna do this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYtjpIwamos

FREEP is ripping itself apart over the 9/11 comment. I'd say it's mostly pro-Trump(Bush knocked down the towers) but this is the most heat Trump has felt from this segment of the base for a long time. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3349626/posts?q=1&;page=1

I signed my friend up for Trump's emails as a joke, and he got an invitation to apply to be a Trump delegate at the RNC. Trump is looking way ahead, though his support seems to be broad but shallow.
